Cheers Michael - that's a great bit of info. Do you know how to do RAID5 ?
I read in
http://www.essenz.com/support/lists/hackers/20040118/69.html
about geom_raid, but it seems to be lost after that.
The other alternative may be to setup a RAID1+0, but that shrinks my
usable space, and I'm not sure how reliable/advisable it is to do in
software.
Thanks again,
Beto
It's not possible to use RAID 5 for bootable slice, so I would suggest:
- Create a mirrored slice for the root FS
- Create a RAID 5 slice for the other FS
I did the same here with vinum. Also as you have 3 disks you can make a 3
disks mirror for the boot slice. The other option is to make mirror on 2
disks and on third to put swap :)
